Mr. A. C. Taler, Mr. Talcott B. Wake-
nian read an essay, from the purport of
which it was evident that the secret of
Green’s Farms success in agricultural matters
lies in the attention of her people to low land
drainage. Mr. Wakeman said: “I have
made :1 estimate of about how many acres
have b drained or reclaimed in Green’s
Farms during the past forty years, and I
should say over 300 acres, and a large por-
tion of this was not worth $10 ‘an acre,
{though some of it might be worthallthe
way ‘from $10 to $00 an acre. And now
how much is this 800 acres worth more than
dt was before it was drained. I should say
$50,000. The cost of draining the 300 acres
,was not more than $20,000. So you see
,‘there has been a clear profit of $20,000 to
the farmers of Green’s Farms. If this 300
‘acres had been drained as well as‘it ought to
have been, it would have been worth $10,-
000 more ; so you see we have added to the
«raids of our farms $50,000.” I put Green’s
Farms in often, said he, as I want Green’s
Farms to have the credit of all our improve-
ments. ' '
' In figuring out the profits Mr. W. said,
“With the $30,000 made in draining the
300 acres, beside the cost and the net profits
from the time they were drained, it would
amount in my opinion, to over $100,000.
After stating that he had drained more
than30 acres of land, had made .from 2,500
to 3,000 rods of ditch, mostly covered, des-
cribing the process usually employed to
.bring the Work about, he said: .
:to get our bread by the sweat of our brow,
let us be thankful to our Creator that He
'has placed as in such pleasant places and
"surrounded us ' with all we can or ought to
:desire. I ,will vvoluntecr to say théreis no
:place we can enjoy better health or the
comforts of life, all things considered, and
be more prosperous, than» we can here in

A Story for Boys.
Some thirty years ago the New York and
New Haven railroad had just began running
on _a single track. 0n afternoon, a country
boy of about 15 was standing near the track
at a cross—road half way between Stamford
and Darien. He heard a train coming from
.the latter station just as a New York train
came in sight from the opposite direction.
He ran to the track and, waving his hat,
caught the attention of the engineer, and
by‘ his earnest manner and his pointing in
the opposite direction, convinced him that
a train was coming round the bend. He
instantly applied the brakes and stopped his
train just in time to escape a disastrous col-
lision. The railroad company expressed its
gratitude at the time by the present of a
valuable silver cup and a life pass over the
road. “But this was not all; a year or two
later the boy was taken into the employ of
the company and instructed in mechanical
engineering, for which be exhibited marked
ability. He was an industrious worker,
honest, intelligent and ambitious, and rose to
a responsible and lucrative position with the
company. He settled in New Haven, where
his worth was recognized, and he was chosen
to a number of honorable Offices, all of which
be filled with the same honesty and efficiency.
Then the Stamford manufacturing company,
one of the largest and most profitable con-
cerns in the State, sought his services, and
here to he continued his successful career.
To-day he is director and general superin—
tendent of this establishment, in director of
the Yale National Bank of' New Haven, is
interested in half a dozen or more profitable
manufactories, and ‘is ‘one Of the most prom-
inent and respected, as he is one of the best,
citizens of the. Elm City and of the State.
He represents the city at present in the
general assembly, his name being John Harris
Leeds, and his native modesty will probably
cause him to Object to this brief ~sketch,
which is written because the lesson it teaches
is a valuable one—Hartford C’ourant.

Evening’s Milk Richest.
This subject has now been put to the
test‘ of chemical analysis and the result is
that the evening’s milk is found to be the
richer. Professor Boedeker analyzed the
milk of a healthy cow at different periods
of the day. The professor found that the
solids of the evening's milk (thirteen per
cent.) exceeded those of the morning (ten
per cent,); while the water contained in the
fluid was diminished from eighty-nine per-
cent. to eighty-six per cent. The fatty
matter gradually increasesas the day pro-
gresses. In the morning it amounts to two
,and one half per cent., at noon three and
one half per cent., and in the evening five
and three quarters per cent. The practical
importance of this discovery is at once ap-
parent; it' develops the fact that While
sixteen ounces of morning’s milk will yield
but one half ounce of butter, about double
the quantity can be obtained from the even-
ingsmilk. The casein is also increased in
the evening’s milk ‘from two and one quar-
ter to two and three quarters per cent,. but
the albumen is diminished from 44-100ths
per cent. w’31~100ths per cent. Sugar is
least- abundant at midnight (four and one
quarter per cent) and most plentiful at noon
(four ,and three quarters per cent.) The
percentage of the salt undergoes almOst
no change at any time of the day.—0’anada

Tan Jox or LITE—There is no snrer
way of producing unhappiness than by
thinking wholly of ourselves. Looking at
our own pains and misfortunes, studying
all the failures we have made and the slighis
we have met, we sink into a moody con-
dition of selfishness that makes happiness
impossible. The joy of life comes with the
contemplation of that which is outside.
When we look abroad to the beautiful world
and trace God’s goodness and‘power in its
creation and management, and whenwe give
ourselves to such work and care as shall
make it still more beautiful then, and then
alone, will we secure the gratifications that
are foretastes of the coming blessing.

now A srnmorniLD GIRL ssomum A prisms];
A sewing girl in Springfield, Mass.,has had
a romantic experience which is worth the tell-
ing. Several months ago a man at Dubuque,
Iowa, advertised in an eastern Massachusetts
paper for a wife. Among the swarm of an-
swers which he received were two from two
girls in Springfield, who replied just for the
fun of the thing. One of them was my heroine,
who represented herself as a‘ young widow,
and whose lively account of herself and her
circumstances was very largely fictitious,
especially that which told (very incidentally,
as if it was of no consequence) of the snug
sum of money left her by the dear departed.
She never expected to hear of the matter
again, but that was the one letter out of all
the advertiser received which struck his fancy
He wrote to the supposed “widow” (who, in
fact had never been married, and who was
then earning her living with her needle) pho-
tographs were exchanged; the letters grew
more and more affectionate, until the‘young
woman, realizing'that the affair was no longer
a joke, wrote to her new-found admirer and
told him frankly of her humble circiimstanccs.
Of course be admired her then all the more,
and at last he came from Dubuque to claim
her for his bride. Instead of the slick and
intelligent-looking and manly individual
whom she had expected fr'om his photograph,
what what was her vcxation to see a person
of decidedly seedy appearance, wearing an
old slouch hat, and appearing altogether un-
attractive. Well, shc refused him, and he,
chiding her bitterly for so doing, after all the
pains he had taken to Win her, returned alone
to Iowa. I suppose he hadn’t left the house
before she was sorry—such is the flexible
cllararacter of female character, of female
affection—"and it is certainly true that she was
very sorry, indeed, before he had put if thou-
sand miles between them. He_ wrote no
more, but the distressed young woman wrote,
or got friends to write, to the pastor of the
church he attended, and to various persons
in Dubuque, to find out what sort of a man
this was—something she ought to have
thought of in the first place. The replies
were unifOrmly complimentary, and every
one only increased her regret that she, a poor
sewing girl, had refused a “good match.”
Didn’t she hope, though, that he would hear
of the inquiries she was making, and reopen
the correspondence with her? But never a
word from him, and at last she swallowed
her pride, reopened the correspondence her-
self, and told him how she misjudged him
and how sorry she was that she had. Prompt-
ly came a manly reply, from which she dis-
covered that when he Visitcd her here,he had
intentionally made himself as unattractive as
possible, from n romantic notion that she
ought to take him for what he was and not
for what he were. of course they were
married, and the poor sewing girl has for her
husband one of the leading citizens of Du-
buque, and for her home one of the finest
mansions in Dubuque. This true story
'ought to have a moral of the negative sort——
namely, that young girls are not to infer from
it that it is safe for them to answer matrimo-
nial advertisements, for, where one case of
this sort has, like this, a happy issue, there
are ten which lead to unhappiness or some-
thing a good deal worse.

embraces 100,000 acr'es, owned by Mr. Dal-
rymple of St. Paul, Gen. Geo. W. Case of
New York, B. P. Cheney of Boston, and
S. L..Grandin of Pennsylvania. The Grand-
in division, consisting of 40,000 acres, is
situated on Goose River, thirty miles south
of Fargo, and apart from the other divi-
sions. So far operations on the farm have
been confined chiefly to wheat growing.
The. farm is managed with something of the
system that is employed in directing the
Operations of an army. It is cut up into
divisions of 2,000 acres each, and these are
managed by experienced superintendents
and'foremen, the finances of each division
being brought under a regular and separate
system Of bookkeeping. Mr. Dalrymple is
general manager of the whole.
The area of ground under crop this year
is 13,000 acres. Next year the area will be
increased to 20,000 acres. The spring‘wheat
w'as sown the latter part-of March and fore
part of April. The first of it was cut July
25, and twelve days after - that the work of
the reapers had been finished, ,and miles
of wheat‘shocks covered the plains. In
bringing this crop to perfection, ‘Mr. Dal-
rymple' has employed nearly 500 head of
horses and mules; 80 broad' cast'S} feet”
seed sewers, 160 14 inch plouglis, 200 steel-
pointed barrows, 15 40 inch cylinder thresh-
ers and cleaners, 15 10 horse power steam
engines, 80 self-binding Ireapers, and a force
of about 400 men. These 80 machines, when
in motion, cut and boumi with wire 1,000
large bundles every minute.
Threshing was begun a few days ago, and
as I stood in the midst of this stubble plain
to-day, and watched the smoke curling up
from steam machines miles upon miles away,
and fancied that they looked as vessels look
when steaming far out over the lake ’in
front of Chicago, I thought to myself what
a magnificent “desert” this is! Near by me
was a superintendent who was talking
through a telephone with another superin-
tendent some three miles away. Near him
sat an operator, who was sending a dispatch
to another part Of the farm.
Mr. Dalrymple said that he expected the
yield to average twenty-five bushels per
acre, which would give a total of 325,000
bushels, worth just that many thousand
dollars, two~thirds of which would be net
profit. It is all No ’1 wheat, and Mr. Dal-
rymple said he had just declined an offer
by the ,Millcr’s Association of Minneapolis
of 92 cents per bushel for 80,000 bushel. He
is shipping. from his farm to Duluth, and
thence to ,New York, twenty cars of wheat
every day. . . I
My astonishment at what I had seen was
nothing compared with that which I experi,
enced upon being told by Mr. Dalrymple
that it was his purpose to carry forward
the development of his farm until he shall
have put 40,000 acres under the plough and
brought his yearly production Of wheat up
to a round million bushels. Dalrymple’s is
not the only large farm hereabouts. There
are at leas’t a half dozen others which num-
her from 1,000 to 2,00 acres under culti-
vrpiOn. The number of farms embracing
from 100 to 400 acres under cultivation is
very large.
Doing up'Men’s Linen.
A husband complained that his shirt bosoms
and collars were badly done up, and the case
was referred to a knowing shirtmaker, and
his answer is well worth the attention of
housekeepers : , ‘
"ch,” said the man, “the fault is with
your laundress. While doing up your coll‘
she stretches them the wrong way. 'Dnmp
linen is very pliable, and a good pull will
alter a fourteen-inch into a fifteen-inch col-
lar in the twinkling of an eye. She ought to
stretch them crosswise and not lengthwise.
Then in straightening out your shirt bosom
she makes another mistake of the' same sort.
They also ought to be pulled crosswise in-
stead of lengthwise, particularly in the
neighborhood of the neck. A lengthwise
pull draws the front of the neckband some-
what directly under your chin, where it was
never meant to go, and Of course that spoils
the set of your collar. With the front of
your neckbandan inch too‘ high, and your
collar an inch too long, you have a most
undesirable combination.”
